This worked so good I stopped doing it…
Content Marketing.
Have you ever had one of those “just kick me in the head now” moments when you realize you’ve made a major marketing blunder? I had one of those recently. I was on a webinar with Don Crowther, one of my social marketing mentors, and he casually mentioned that his mortgage is completely covered from adsense revenue from his hubpages sites.
Doh! Here’s the thing. He told me about hubpages TWO YEARS AGO. Why do I do an annoying “all caps” on that? Because two years ago I tried it, and it worked. For example, one of the first “hubs” I created was for a network marketing play, and I got two new distributors the very first month I published it! Not bad.
Then… not so much. Over the last two years I have published a grand total of 17 hubs, while Don just cranked one out every single day, and now makes a few thousand smackers a month.
And during that time I could have easily produced a plethora of hubs, but I just , well (fill in excuse here).
So, I’m back in action, and recommend you get into action too. Hubpages are great on so many levels. They are fun to make, you aren’t limited in what topics you can cover, and it forces you to write- and let’s face it, content is king online, and if you can’t produce content about your subject you’re in trouble. Hub pages is a great place to learn. Follow other hubbers to see what they do, and get into action! Not only can you get the following benefits:
-Links back to your blog or website
-Direct traffic
-Improve your marketing skills
-Earn 60% of the adsense revenue generated on your hubs
-Learn some great stuff from the community at large…
But it’s also a free and fun marketing method for whatever it is you’re selling, or even not selling! You can make hubs about whatever your little heart desires, and sure enough, the mighty Google will find a relevant ad to stuff in your hub and get you some cash.
And btw, follow my hubs, and tell me your hub ID, and I’ll follow you back! I’m at:
I tried HubPages when it first came out and I did not get anything by way of ad revenue. I have, like you said, stopped doing it.
I am not capable of doing daily or even weekly article content postings. I guess I could give it a try, though, and see what comes of it. I’m not that good at writing except in the realm I am familiar… railroad signaling. I guess there are a few rail fans who would be interested in what I might say.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Peace and Prosperity to you and yours,
Leon
Leon, I don’t know you from Adam, but I have to think there’s a lot more inside of you that you could express than just railroad signaling, although I bet there are some people that would love to hear what you have to say on that!
I just think we all have a message for the world, something that a lot of other people would love to hear about, and if you look through hubpages, you’ll see one “hubber” writing about everything from romance to marketing to politics to belly dancing. Just food for thought.
